One of the most notable changes to Google’s policy, announced in a blog post, is that YouTube videos created by 13-17-year-olds will automatically be defaulted to private. Other YouTube changes include automatic break and bedtime reminders for the same age group and the removal of “overly commercial content” that might encourage kids to spend money. Additional significant changes include the ability for minors or their parents to request the removal of their images from Google’s image results....

Google’s quarterly Feature Drop became available on Monday to users with the Pixel 3 series and later. Updates include Pride Month Wallpapers, the ability to take videos of the stars in Night Sight, and the ability to answer or reject a call using Google Assistant. A new Gboard will let you see key snippets of a phone number, email address, or URL suggested in the clipboard. You can then easily drop them into places like Messages or Maps....

What used to be limited to smartphones is now open to everyone with access to the internet, which means more possibilities for educators. Teachers can take entire classes on a virtual tour without having to physically bring everyone to a museum or gallery space. This almost sounds like an alternative to field trips, but it’s not really a substitute for a proper field trip. It’s more of a way to enhance the experience rather than replace it entirely....

What Is an HDR File? A file with the HDR file extension is a high dynamic range image file. Images of this type aren’t generally distributed, but instead edited and then saved to a different image format, like TIFF. Geographic Information System (GIS) files that contain information on the format and layout of an ESRI BIL file (.BIL) are called ESRI BIL Header files, and also use the HDR file extension....

HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG is a shortcut to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive. More specifically, to that hive’s \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\Current\ registry key. It’s there that the information is truly stored - HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG just provides a quick way to get there. Therefore, this registry hive really just exists for convenience. It’s easier to access the data in the other registry key—to view and modify it—by just going to HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG. Since they contain the same information and are always connected to each other, you can make changes in either location to get the same results....

iHeart Media announced recently that it’s investing in binaural audio, also known as 3D audio. The technology is intended to make listeners feel like they are in the same room as a recording. The advance of 3D audio could herald a revolution in podcasts, experts say. “In a typical podcast, it’s kind of just a person talking,” John Merchant, chair of the Department of Recording Industry at Middle Tennessee State University, said in a phone interview....

The Biden administration has allocated $1 billion in funding, which could help rural providers offer fiber broadband. The move could help the large number of Native Americans currently without high-speed internet access. “For generations, a lack of infrastructure investment in Indian Country has left Tribes further behind in the digital divide than most areas of the country,” Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, the first Native American to serve as a cabinet secretary, said at a news conference announcing the funding....

This push, experts say, is significant because it forces other tech companies to follow suit or risk falling behind in consumer opinion....

Then dedicated accessory sockets showed up on the scene, and all of that went out the window. These 12V accessory sockets look like cigarette lighter sockets, but they aren’t, and the differences are important. Accessory Sockets Aren’t Cigarette Lighters After decades of cigarette lighter sockets playing double-duty as accessory sockets, it’s only natural to wonder what, if any, difference there is between these two components. While this might seem complex, it’s not....

The keyboard alternatives arrive as a recent study claims that handwriting is better for the brain than typing. Apple recently added Scribble with its release of iOS 14, a feature that uses handwriting recognition to enter text on iPads. Meanwhile, a bunch of tablets have recently been released that focus on handwriting, such as the electronic paper-based reMarkable 2. “Handwriting has traditionally had a number of advantages over typing,” tech analyst Ross Rubin of Reticle Research said in an email interview....

As part of an amendment to the Nordic kingdom’s 2009 Marketing Act, the new regulations require that all retouched photos used for advertising or marketing (including promo posts on social media) be labeled as edited. The Norwegian law covers all social media channels and applies to brands and influencers posting for commercial purposes, even in cases where just a filter was used. “I think, for the most part, adults understand that most images they see are retouched....

“I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy until recently. Seeing people accept me for who I am without me having to pretend or be something else because I saw it work for other people,” she said in a phone interview with Lifewire. Floskeee is, before anything, comedic relief in the most literal sense of the phrase. Her community of “roasting trolls” puts the joke before everything else. A little irreverence goes a long way here, but like most comedy, this lively streaming star’s infectious personality comes from rocky beginnings....

How to Bi-Wire Bi-Wire Details There are some potential benefits to bi-wiring, although it’s not guaranteed due to the subjectivity of sound. However, before you start, you’ll have to make sure the option even exists. A speaker must have separate terminals (two pairs of binding posts) for the woofer and midrange/tweeter. They’re sometimes marked by the designation “high” and “low.” Other times, they’re not marked at all. If you’re unsure, it’s recommended to reference the owner’s manual for further information before attempting to bi-wire any speakers....
